• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Just a Phantom Black Metallic GTO..Named Shadow

Gotta get headers and supporting mods for a cam first, before cam. Also, with everything that keeps going out, I can't afford a cam right now.

Speaking of other things going bad....the radiator bit the dust few days ago. Now I got the car up on ramps waiting for the new radiator to come in the mail.

Lookin' good man. Get some LTs on it and a tune. LS2s get spooky quick ;)

Thanks, I wish I could get LT's. The trans sh1tting on me ate that budget. I am getting tuned Saturday. When I am able to get other ods, the re tunes are free. Good to have family friends that tune LS motors.

I wish. I don't have that kinda cheddar. Although the car came with a Vararam which ain't bad.

I got a stock replacement. Didn't have the funds for a Moshi radiator. From what I read, the stock radiator will do just fine. I did throw in a new tstat and radiator cap just to cover my rear.
 
As stated above, she is doing good. Ready to make a nice road trip south this weekend for an in car tune. Earlier today went and hung out with some goat friends, doing goat stuff. Had a little goat meet lol.

The In-Car Tune was a success, Shadow has much more response and just overall feels better. What is also nice, is that after any new mods, the re tune is free. My family friend has tuned many LS cars including turboed and pro charged rides. So that gave me piece of mind letting him tune the car. Hopefully next year I can get a cam done, LS motors sound so nice cammed.

Only part of the weekend that kinda sucked was after some initial tuning, I had to go for a drive to let the HPT do some data logging which included some WOT pulls. It wasn't raining at the time during the drive, but the roads were still wet. I had no traction and it made doing WOT pulls a little scary.

Looks like a good time. I'm pretty much the lone 'Goat around our gang, not that it matters- We usually roll out the Fbods anyway.

It sure was. Hope to get pics of more Goats this next Friday, last meet there was about 9 of them. There are plenty of Fbody guys around us at the meet, so lots of LS talk.
 


Today was a good day for Shadow. Since it was about 80* here I decided to paint her wheels. A lot of people don't like black wheels, but on a black car they look killer. She looks very aggressive now. Also I replaced the bulbs in the license plate lamps and side markers with LED's.
